FIFA oversees international football, manages global competitions, and sets the official rules of the game. Pakistan has been affiliated with FIFA since 1948 through the Pakistan Football Federation. Despite this long association, football in Pakistan has faced challenges, including weak infrastructure, limited funding, and administrative disputes.
In recent years, Islamabad has worked to rebuild Pakistan’s football profile. Efforts have focused on governance reforms, international cooperation, and the promotion of women’s football. Authorities have also engaged with international development programs to strengthen the sport further.
The appointment of Amna Batool to FIFA’s Institutional Reforms Committee reflects these efforts. It signals global recognition of Pakistan’s growing role in football governance and international decision-making.
Experts believe the move could strengthen diplomatic ties through sports and support long-term development within Pakistan’s football system.
